Jay Cutler’s stat line in Denver’s 23-20 loss to the Seahawks will show a decent first outing for the rookie quarterback. Cutler threw for 143 yards and two touchdowns. The young QB also threw two interceptions (one was absolutely horrible) and most of his 143 yards came on a 71 yard Brandon Marshall touchdown reception in which Seattle’s defenders wore Vaseline on their jerseys for one play. I’ll be honest, I expected more from the rookie tonight, but hey, at least he’s not Jake Plummer.
With Josh Brown’s last second field goal in the win, the kicker has now broken the hearts of three teams this season. Denver, Detroit and St. Louis (twice) have all fallen culprit to the wrath of Brown’s right leg. Seattle wasn’t overly impressive in the win – I think the defense can still be had – but it was a win nonetheless. While everyone focuses on Chicago and Dallas in the NFC, the Seahawks might just be the sleeper of conference.
